1'0 all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ERVIN G. GoLLNER andEMIL FRETZ, of Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, haveinvented a new and Improved Fan lung-Machine, of which the following isa specification:

Our invention consists of a fan attached to the pendulum of a clockmechanism, and the pendulum provided with paw1s,i11 combination with thescape Wheel, in such contrivance as to give a quick strong movement tothe fan, well adapted for beating the air, fordriving away insects fromthe table, bed, and other localities, the clock mechanism being locatedin a little case, which is mounted on legs which support it suitably forworking the pendulum below.

Figure l is a sectionalelevat-ion of our improved machine, taken in theplane of the pendulum; and Fig. 2is a section taken in a plane at rightangles to Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the clock mechanism; B, the escapement-wheel; E, thependulum-rod; F, the pawls for working the rod from the scapewheels saidpawls being connected to the rod on opposite sides of its pivot G, sothat one takes hold before the other lets go. H is the pendulum, and lthe fan. The pawls are tipped with rubber to make them elastic andnoiseless.
